TONIGHT

tonight I go out walking
tonight I’m out to roam
tonight I go out walking
tonight I walk alone

I know the day is coming
I know the time is near
I know the days are numbered
the hour and the year

my love has left me lonesome
my love has gone at last
I walk along the shadows moonlight cast

tonight I feel no sorrow
tonight I feel no shame
tonight I never had a dream
that I could give a name

if only for a moment
if only ’til it’s gone
if only for the moment before dawn

tonight I go out walking
tonight I’m out to roam
tonight I go out walking
tonight I walk alone
